Cleaning House? What To Do With Your Old Clothes
If you’re like me, the new year has you itching to clean house and get rid of some post-holiday clutter. Time to go through those closets and set aside the clothes that have seen better days. Just don’t even think about tossing them. There’s plenty of ways to get a second (or third or fourth) life out of your old duds. Here’s are some green parenting ideas for dealing with your old clothes:
Fix: If you’re handy with a needle in thread, go ahead and fix that torn hem in your skirt or patch up the hole in your son’s favorite flannel shirt. Need a guide? Check out these handy sites for some quick and easy clothing repairs…

Swap: You know what they say…one green parent’s junk is another green parent’s treasure. If you have a bag full of clothes that you no longer want, consider swapping them for a bag full of clothes that are gently used, yet new-to-you. Organize a swap with friends to exchange kids’ clothes or clothes for your own closet. Or check out these sites to trade with green parents from around the world…

Sell: If you have some clothing items that are worth a pretty penny, consider selling them at your local consignment shop or online to earn some New Year $$$. Check out www.consignmentshops.com for a list of clothing consignment stores near you. Online auction/listing sites include:
Donate: Another great option is to donate your old duds to a worthwhile charity. You can even deduct your donation as long as you keep an itemized list of what you gave and get a receipt from the donation site.

What a great breakdown for helping parents going green with clothes. I just tried http://www.Zearly.com to trade in my boys gently used clothes. I was super easy and I was able to do it all from home! I earned points for the clothes I sent in and in return I could purchase other clothes or gift cards with these points.
